About the film:
The film was shot in 6 days on Cape Cod in June 2019 with a budget of only 400 USD.
Cox (20 years-old) casted from a mix of non-actors and professional actors that he based off conversations, which let him determine if their energy would be a good fit with the rest of the cast — there was no audition.
Much of the dialogue was improvised, which Cox encouraged, for a level of authenticity between the actors who had all just met each other before the shoot.
